Eczema Triggers and how to avoid them

Eczema can be caused in many different ways. Here is a collection of the most popular triggers and how to avoid them:

1. Stress. This is my number one trigger. My eczema flares up in any stressful time such as exams. This included both mental and physical stress. If you're ill, a large amount of stress is being placed on your body. It's important to rest your body and mind to prevent eczema flare ups. 
2. Weather  The weather can cause eczema at both extremes. The cold winter disrupts the skins protective barrier and we experience dry skin. In winter ensure your wearing a good moisturizer to protect the skin. In the summer, flare ups can also occur. These are normally due to excess sweat and blocked pores.
3. Contact with allergens people with eczema are often hyper sensitive to substances like chemicals and detergents. Try to reduce the contact with these allergens to avoid future flareups. 
4. certain foods Many people with eczema have allergies too. The most common being dairy and Nut allergies. Eating too much of the certain food can trigger a reaction.
